were jumping out of windows.
Another one would be the biggest shopping day after Thanksgiving, when all the stores all crowded, that is also called Black Friday.

Answer 2

Usually black friday is the day after Thanksgiving. That is when all the stores open really early and start their crazy sales for Christmas.
